• Resurface uneven concr... Alternative way to fix uneven concrete with BMI 690.
In this how-to video, I ask, Is your concrete sidewalk sinking? I’m prepping with Poly Bond to resurface and then level.
If I add more than a quarter inch, I will add some sand to the Poly-bond, about half and half.
What is La HaBras Poly-bond? It’s an adhesive cementitious product.
I find a pressure washing with a force of 3,000 to 3,500 psi minimum works fine; it micro scores or etches the surface of the concrete.
Only gas-pressure washers put out this pressure.
For more force, buy a turbo tip. Turbo tips cost about 50 bucks but are worth every penny.
They add to the force needed to etch or score below the surface.
I prefer La Habra’s “Poly Bond” for flat surfaces that may be walked or driven over.
Polybond is only sold at professional plastering yards. It’s a cementitious adhesive bonder designed to attach styrofoam to porous surfaces on a building.
How strong is professional Poly Bond, with the possibly thousands of pounds of styrofoam coated with cement attached on the tops of buildings or homes, whether 5 or 10 stories high?
It’s often best for folks to pay a licensed Cement mason to cut out the section, take it to the dumps, add new rebar set with Dobies as enforcement, and repour with concrete.
However, not all folks have the cash to do this. So I changed a few hundred bucks for this temporary fix, which, who knows, may last a lifetime but is doubtful.
Obviously, we didn’t do this repair for money,
We did it for our subscribers for “Educational Purposes,” as that’s the kind of guy I am.
For you folks, what do you use to resurface a concrete walkway? I’d recommend more user-friendly products like Sakrete Gray self-leveler, Quikrete Self-Leveling Concrete Resurfacer, or Rapid Set Concrete Leveler. These resurfacing adhesive levelers are easier and user-friendly and can be purchased at Home Depot, Lowes, and many other hardware stores.

The material I used is not sold at either of these stores but only plastering yards as it is precisely engineered to attach styrofoam to base-coated walls.
Kirk. Only you can keep me Watching a video about an issue I don’t even have for 25 minutes, and still consider it time well spent. On holiday no less ❤
Also. Funny how the ..what did you call it? Finishing touches? Are the hardest to achieve by a non pro.
Alsoooo not only did I watch that aforementioned video, but also (after bombarding you with ratio questions), piggy backed on it, to fix concrete stairs, and a much more wedged parking entrance surfacing layer.
Still holds after few years gone by,. I’m not expecting 20. But I think anything above 4 ,to 5 years is a win.
Anyways. Always love to watch a master at work.
Would love to see how that fix held over the winter.
Morning Fish dude,man, I like your style than you.😉
Hello kirk, i have been plastering in the uk for 30 years. Taught by my father who learned from his uncles. I have worked on some very old property's. Different ways in usa but if it works thats all that matters. Peace and prosperity to you and yours. Salisbury uk.
Evening Ross my fellow plasterer from the UK, always nice to hear from the country that invented Lime plastering a few centuries earlier.

i know this stuff works on any surface you put it on as long as is flat surface you can make you own if you can't find it in stores i been plastering for over 50 years kirk is a rookie on this he wont' tell you all about plastering

We have no secretes, thus we do indeed tell everything and then some, about plastering. In fact thats why you're here, to learn, be my guest.🥳
Kirk beautiful family. And amazing work you do. And thank you for showing how your driveway looks 5 years later with heavy use. It’s amazing.
I’ve patched widows with the help of your videos. Resurfaced my yard with acrylic stucco . And now will do my driveway and hope it looks as nice as yours .
Sorry for all the people who criticize without watching listening and having no clue,
your kind is a few and in between many more years to you and yours sir
Good afternoon OKsana dude, you, my friend, have a beautiful way with words. Thank you.

Thanks for publishing another masterful display of your industry knowledge. As a homeowner I wished you were in my area, but since you’re not I follow you so I can try a few of your teachings and techniques around my place. So far so good 👍🏻
Howdy RJ, the materials are now so easily avaible, you have to google plastering yards near me. or read the description for HD or lowes materials that do the same thing. cheers.
Kirk I’ve done it several times with primus mud and ran acrylic finish on it. Also I have just skimmed it with poly bond and/ primus and it works great as a resurfacer. Keep up the good work

Probably came with the house) Thanks again sir 💯:)👍.
Good afternoon Charlie green, Polybond will work for crack repairs but has lite grainy sand to it.
If the crack is huge, you may want to hit it again when the poly bond is dry as it won't go more than a quarter of an inch without shrinking.
FYI, Poly-bond by La Habra is specifically engineered to adhere styrofoam to base coats of stucco. Thus, it's an adhesive cementitious cement.

OK, went to both Lowes and Home Depot and could not find this Poly Bond. A dude on the street said he could "get stuff" he looked really shady but for $100 he hooked me up with a pack (it looked like he took a bit for himself). I have no experience with Poly Bond or concrete for that matter, but I used hot glue once so I figured how hard could it be? Well, it was a disaster. I managed to burn down my house! My wife left me for the shady dude and my pet fish no longer acknowledges my presence. If only someone had warned me!

Great job and video. Priceless knowledge for DIYers. Like the man said Polybond is a professional grade product and big box stores have re-surfacing products that are decent. Pressure wash, clean and etch like he said. Preparation is key and thin multiple coats. Also your driveway still looks great! Keep up the great work and I also am second generation plasterer & painter and learned from my father who was a plasterer for 45 years. Unfortunately we lost my Dad a year ago but I learned the trade and many things just like this. Love that your sons and daughters work with you as well!

😂😂😂😂love it!!!
One of the best instructional you have ever produced guys.
I think I know why the water part is such a recurring issue.
Most of us do it yourself guys, never used a power washer, not to mention a gas powered one.
So ..for me at least, it want obvious just how much important it is to make sure the old concrete is not just damp.. but wet inside as well, for a good mechanical bond. But I do have a tip for those without a notion as to how to damp the old surface.
Get an old bedsheet even. Cover the surface with it and drench it with water. And let it hang there for an hour, while making sure it’s always drenched with water.
That should do it.
Also..another tip for good bonding is first brush the surface with a water thinned cement ..simple one. Like a. Painting texture.
As cement is basically a sort of adhesive ..combining it with water like that will connect the two layers.. old and new ..better.
Just make sure that the brushed cement is still at least damp when you apply the top layer of concrete. If it’s dry then you need to wet it again
Good morning Gefilta, Good advice my friend.
I would add if a homeowner does not have pressure washer available that is strong enough to etch the concrete.
Then to improvise and etch the concrete well with a "wire-brush" and some old fashioned elbow grease, then rinse off excess loose cement dust.
Some readers might think, where do I find elbow grease? 😎I'm referring to physical strength or muscle with the effort to scrub the dust off.
Folks are now ready, to begin with, whatever first prep steps they are partial too.

Kirk Giordano plastering Inc.
good advice. I also rigged a wire brush myself so I could mount it on a jigsaw . Pretty funny.
Will an acid wash . Like 30% acid, do the trick as well? That is.. if you ever heard of it
Good evening Gefilta, yes, the acid will etch the concrete.
Then go into the street and makes its way into our water supply. I don't like to use toxic stuff if I don't have to.
Plus, with using acid you'd need a respirator. The only toxins I'll allow are whats in my beers. 🍺

Hi Kirk thanks to you I did all the stucco walls in my yard . I caulked all the hair lines and then used Commercial Grade Quikrete with Hydraulic Water- stop Cement .
I was able to seal a whole I had i my wall and water proof my basement . After that I painted my stucco walls in the my yard with Sherwin Williams Loxon xp Water proofing Masonry Coating. I trying to send you a picture but I have trouble sending it to you . I even build a small garden wall for my yard .
I really help again its about cement and know you don't cement . But know you know this question . I three cement cracks blocks in my yard . Two are medium size and the other is half of one block . I don't want to pull them out . I just want to go over them and fill them up with cement . My question is ? I been told not to mix Grade Quikrete with Hydraulic with Commercial Grade Quikrete Mason Mix Type & Mortar . I was told it will crack ? Is this true ? I didn't have enough to fill the whole and have to get more and it did get hairline cracks . I tried very hard to do this and wasn't easy for me but I am not giving up . Please help me and suggest to me what I am doing wrong ? I will try and send pictures . I Proud of my self the yard looks nice . But I want to do the cement blocks before it gets too cold . You are helping everyone one and a blessing for all of us . Thank you .
Good afternoon Brenda, no worries I'd recommend a ten or 25-pound box of, Raip set mortar or even Rapid set stucco, both will work.😉
The mortar sets really fast and is crazy strong, in fact, it set so fast you will have less than ten minutes to design it like you want to.
The stucco will also work it set in about 20 to 25 minutes. The decision to bay a ten-pound or twenty-five-pound box will have to be made by you.
It's best to buy too much and throw some away than to buy too little and need more.🤔

I have an over 50 year old concrete patio behind my house in NY and due to the freeze/thaw cycling we get massive sprawling if you don’t seal concrete and/or use salt in the winter; we’ve been resurfacing concrete for decades with simply a pressure washing, 2-3 coats of diluted bonding agent sprayed over, and a Portland slurry with a fortified then simply Portland and sand, plus just a little lime and it lasts for years and is quite cheap. For some better protection we’ll use RapidSet CementAll and their flow aid as it cures out to 9,000 PSI and is very resistant to water and salt. Top and Bond is a lot of people’s go-to but is just too expensive for any kind of real area; we’ve done this over driveways and in garages and have never had issues with some top coats going beyond 20 years, though some can pop/sprawl especially if highly salted and if we get days cycling between warm and freezing. Ultimately do what you’re comfortable with but I’m always looking to save $ and topping concrete is a big money saver.
Howdy Libertarian, many ways to skin a cat, those methods do indeed work. That cement all is kind of fun to work with, huh, sets in like 5 minutes, but the strength is indeed unreal. cheers, my friend.🍾
@@StuccoPlastering: Depends a lot on weather as it sets a lot quicker on hot days but 10-15 minutes can be expected, once mixing starts; you can extend times by keeping the bags cold or using ice water and speed things up by using hot water. They also conveniently have packages of flow aid, which works like a super plasticizer to increase flow without increasing water and decreasing strength, and a set retarder which buys about 10-25 more minutes per packet up to 4/55 lb. bag. I like the RapidSet line as it is hard as a rock in an hour, without set retarder, and was a big go-to in the Military when time counts. Grew up in a family of tradesmen including a mason or two and while I didn’t go into masonry I do it from time to time; I’m always amazed at the longevity and look of a days work, you just don’t get that from all the trades. Like the videos, just thinking of stucco as I’ve been redoing the 50-140 year old coat on the foundation and just unifying all the additions; while it looks nice it reminds me I’m no spring chicken and I’m glad I choose a trade that was less manually hard.
Top and Bond? I'm halfway on an area trying Top and Bond, but it ends up with some cracks and blotchy spots. The manufacturer now tells me Top and Bond is NOT for resurfacing any area, only for small repairs... Everyone tells me Ardex is the best stuff to use now.
Great job Kirk

Why not use rapid set? Rapid set is for resurfacing and and will adhere to concrete, and be allot stronger than polybond.
Polybond has more adhesive in it, although they are both extremely strong, as a door and window contractor that does his own stucco, I'd go with what Kirk says.
That looked difficult! If Kirk doesn't make it look easy, it's a tough job.
This was easy but tedious. There are many more user-friendly products in the description. The most important part is cleaning the concrete, so it's clean enough to eat off. Otherwise, no product will work. 🥽
Looks good after 4 years.

Hell yeah improvise and come up with something better that isn’t engineered to fail in a certain time frame. And yes things are engineered to have a life span. Love your video
Howdy Clayton, most things eventually or fail or wear out, unfortunately.
On a positive note, good thing politicians age and fade away🍻
Kirk, I'm wondering about the mix, ratio sand to poly? I love to plaster so I would really like the ratio sand to poly so I can do a small repair on my driveway. No, I don't like the product at HD OR LW. I get my material at the yard
i second this , also "polybond" it sounds like a denture cream ,and listening to Kirk he sounds like an infomercial pitchman with that perfect radio announcer voice ,if i close my eyes i feel like i'm watching an infomercial for a denture cream LOL
dentures keep falling out ? ,try polybond
Good afternoon Cristine and Andrea, LOL, we all know what Poly-bond is specifically engineered for attaching styrofoam to base coats of stucco.
What I do is add about half the sand per mix. Thus if I add a half bucket of poly-bond, I add the rest with sand, then mix.
Then let it slack for about 20 minutes. After the 20-minutes break, the slake by re-mixing, then fill the holes.
As I did in this video, I sometimes skim the whole thing once more with the straight poly bond when this coat drys.
Remember, this shit is important. Nothing adheres to a dusty, dirty, oily surface, 'Nothing,' not Poly-bond or the best adhesive caulking Sikaflex.
So if it comes off or cracks, you did it wrong.
I believe I'm talking to two plasterers who already know this kind of stuff?😉
With my false teeth, I use full strength poly bond hold them in place plus taste yummy.🤔That's a joke, folks, so don't go saying I tried the stuff for my teeth and got sick.😏

Good morning Cristine, dude. Concrete is portland cement and rocks.
Stucco is portland cement and sand.
Keep in mind if you use too much sand, you can have a weak surface.🤔
I added just enough after the poly-bond slacked, I'd say about two or three handfuls. What I'm showing in this and a couple other similar videos are for small repairs. So you don't need much sand.
Hers a tip, brother, if the ground ain't clean enough to eat off, nothing will adhere for long. 😉

Rapid Set works great, but better move quick. We fixed pot holes in Sky Harbor airport with that stuff. Set to 4000 PSI in 2 hours.
Howdy good tip I think, Is it an adhesive cement or just a cement?🤔
@@StuccoPlastering Rapid Set is its own type of cement, it is non shrink, and can even be used for doweling anchors. It can be feathered, They have patch, mortar, stucco, concrete, water stop. They actually started selling it at Home Depot, used to be only in concrete supply houses. They have 10 pound boxes and 50 pound bags. Grab a blue box and try it out, great for repairs, will hit 12,000 PSI in a month. I use it to repair stucco around garage openings that were vehicle damaged. Its definitely an adhesive.
That drain next door looks to be higher than the corner of the driveway or the sidewalk.
Exzackory, In a perfect world, it would be lower.
Well I don't want to put a hole in your boat, the lines are called control joints, expansion joints are oil impregnated fiber board. Usually installed next to drive cut, or to marry garage floor to driveway. And used in many other applications.
Howdy Peter, what lines?
FYI, I have many videos that explain control and or expansion joints.

Hi Kirk! Thanks for sharing. Is it LaHabra Poly-Bond that you are using? I want to try that stuff. Here in Canada, frost & de-icing salt are the most harmful things to cement or stucco. Maybe that cimenticious adhesive can keep water from getting between layers. You would not like it here in winter. ;-) Great video, stay safe.

Thank you, my friend.💃
Hi Kirk. I’ve learnt lots of things watching your videos thank you. I’m not a stucco guy but I take an interest in what you guys do. Just a point about wetting the surface first with water. Does wetting first dilute the bonding of the material/glue to what you’re applying it to. Thinking the material has enough moisture in it to begin with to penetrate the surface. Cheers fella👍🦘🇦🇺
Hi Tyrone, water only dilutes a bonding agent that is not completely dry.💃
I need to do this to my house!!
Evening Marco, it's not much fun, but that's why they call it work.😏
@@StuccoPlastering well you make the work look 👀 fun! I can really appreciate how the mixing of the products as well as understanding the time of day, how the materials react to weather conditions and the mastery when applying it to the surface is something of a masterpiece! Do what you love and call it work embodies what you do and it is a pleasure to watch!
@@marcoreviews Howdy Marco, LOL, sometimes it feels like work, then again sometimes it really is fun, depending on what were doing. We love a challenge.😏
I find Foamtek-20 to be superior to Poly-Bond in mounting decorative foam pop-outs to stucco walls. I think it would make a great choice also for skimming clean etched concrete. Cheers!
('course Poly-Bond is LaHabra and Foamtek is Omega)

Hi Kirk, I tried cleaning my driveway by pressure washing before adding the product but there was still black areas that refused to come up!
Tried 100% chlorine with a garden sprayer and wow the rest of the concrete driveway looks super clean!
Every heard of cleaning concrete with chlorine?
Thanks! Bobby
If you tried pressure washing with a tubo tip and it stayed stuck, apply a bonding agent over it and stucco away. Sometime not all things come out.👨🏫
Am I wrong in believing that the under-concrete drain pipe has separated from that drain cover and is washing the sand out from underneath the concrete sidewalk. As the sand is removed, the sidewalk starts to sink. Until they fix the original issue, they will continue to have issues with the sidewalk sinking and sand washing out onto the sidewalk.
Howdy Steven, I have no clue as to what's going on under there.🍾
In my next life i wanted to be a cook but I think I want to be a plasterer too!

that WILL NOT LAST in a freeze thaw situation like in iowa but in california where you have no frost movement it might work moisture will get under the topping and freeze and pick the patch
